Time Stamp for Cited Work

Definition

Used to record any time stamp that was found on a cited resource when it was examined, for resources such as databases that may use a time signature to identify different versions

Remarks

This element does not represent the time when the cited resource was examined, but rather the time it was produced or distributed, or other milestone the resource creators chose to record the time.

Related Elements

The <access-date> element is the date on which the cited work was examined. Some online resources are changing so quickly that a citation to the resource is not complete without the date on which the resource was examined. In contrast, the element <time-stamp> indicates a date or time that the resource was published or made available. The time stamp is applied to the resource by its creators, usually as a version indicator, and says nothing about when a contributor examined the resource, only what version was found at the time of examination.
